Delete

Lately I have found myself deleting several people's contacts from my phone. Although initially I didn't want to but it feels good to get rid of people who were there for me as long as I was happy and dandy. Giving me so many compliments and wanting to spend time with me but at the first sign of me going through a bit of troublesome phase, they just vanished. Good riddance! Alhumdulillah.

Earlier this week a former best friend from high school texted me and said she's in town and wanted to meet up. She was my best friend in high school and a few years after that. We were pretty close, but a few things about her bugged me. Things like occasional snide remarks...hiding/lying about inane things. I'd ask her where she got her eyebrows done....she wouldn't tell me. She knew I wanted to get my nose pierced and I asked where she got hers done from and she lied about the location...ended up wasting my time. We drifted apart over the years, but whenever she would visit she'd ask to meet up....and I would agree. Despite the weird things she did in the past...I'd still agree to hang out ...because we still had some memories as well. But oddly...this time my heart just wasn't into talking to her, nor meeting up with her. So, I did not respond to either her texts or phone calls. Sometimes I wonder if my decision was based on intuition. Maybe at some point in the future, we might meet....but as of now...I'm not in that place.

Your friend or even your best friend does not have to be on their perfect behavior with you all the time. We all have our own flaws and who knows, they may have something negative to point at us, and it does not even have to be specified as some issues are intrinsic and personality-related, fretting about which will first will not fix things, and second can make things worse for the overall friendship.

Munni and aqua are morphing into the same person in my brain or something.. LOL! I must have been thinking of Munni's post when I posted my comment. Both have had friendships end recently. This is what lack of sleep will do to ya.

@redvelvet when you have friends like that, who needs enemies? Seems like she had a lot of insecurity issues.

@NavAhmed I didn't just delete their number after 1 incident, these are the people I have given plenty of chances to. Same routine over and over again, they would talk to me when I was happy and despite me always being there for them when they were feeling down, they were like strangers to me when I felt down. Suddenly they had no time for me. I just can't deal with such aholey people anymore.

@FreshBakedPi Yes! Getting rid of them is a blessing in disguise really.

You know when you are in dark, you even lose your own shadow. Hope you can find some good friends, those who come for all seasons.
